WE ARE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST

Enter a Stranger But Once

We believe that God led you to our parish for a reason. St. Francis is a place where strangers become family, love is shared, and faith is lived. Whether you’re returning to the church, exploring for the first time or looking for a place to truly belong, here you’ll find warmth, hope and a community that knows your name.

Come and join us in worship. See how the light of Christ – which is at work in us – can grow in you.

  • Our Ministries

    WE BRING CHRIST’S LIGHT INTO THE WORLD

    Faith without action is incomplete. At St. Francis, we are called to love and serve the Lord by contributing our time, resources, and talents. We give generously, serve actively and love our community the way Christ modeled – with hearts, hands and presence.  We demonstrate the light of Christ in our church, community and the world through these various ministries.
